Oh yes, and to talk to Brandon here about it (hes read it too, as an informed young person who understands this world ).
As a Catholic-burning Brit, I enjoy the fact that Anonymous has elevated Nov 5th as the day of global bonfires

Hey, Clive
Dont know if you had a chance to look at that ANONYMOUS proposal I sent you last week, but theres interest in meeting with Gregg Housh and Barrett Brown and talking about various directions the book might take. Looks like theyll be in town a week from now, Monday and Tuesday, Sept 19 / 20.
Is it too early to know, or do you think you might be interested in sitting down with them? (A phone chats always an option too, of course.)
Meanwhile, dont know if you saw it, but in Vanity Fairs annual media movers-and-shakers rankings (this month) the first listing in The Anti-Establishment category is, of course, Anonymous:
The worlds pre-eminent hactivist affinity group has waged holy cyber-war on a laundry list of Establishment brands, including PayPal, MasterCard, and Visarallying to the defense of their mother ship, WikiLeaks. And no matter how many neckbearded I.T. guys the feds round up, it seems the Anonsa border-less, leader-less, ever expanding army of techno-vigilantes, misanthropic pranksters, human-rights crusaders, and free-speech absolutistsare here to stay. In mid-July, some Anons took on the ultimate Establishment target, vowing to kill almighty Facebook on November 5 (Guy Fawkes Day). As their slogan warns, they are legion, they do not forgive, and they do not forget. If you mess with the little guy, expect them.
Let me know if theres a chance you might want to meet next week, will you? Thanks.
